I actually stumbled upon this Museum as I was walking to figure out the cathedral. Way before that, very near to a Square, I have no recollection what the name was, but there is a round park with an interesting model of a House turned upside down!Just around the corner, this well done pathway leads you to this Museum.

Another great place from which to view the city.....worth the entrance fee to see the building itself and the rooftop views. There is a limited range of art to explore but it's interesting. Put this on your list.

Very clever architectural solution, a new building integrated with Palmas old wall. The museum is very central located (in the beginning of Paseo Mallorca) but not to easy to find. It is a museum for Contemporary Art. When I was there one part of the museum was closed for hanging a new exhibition, so I got a reduced entrance fee... More

Es Baluard is housed in a gorgeous modern gallery. The local artists exhibit is interesting and has a few works that I enjoyed and they showed a good range of the local scenery. The Miro exhibit was, well, Miro, and it was not large. The Picasso ceramics are totally surpassed by the ones that are in the free gallery on... More

I loved the architecture, the location, the views, the work, the cafe, everything. Go at night when the main building is closed but you can wander round the outdoor sculptures for free. Go!!!

The gallery has been beautifully worked into the remains of one of the old bastions of the city. Inside the galleries offer a stunning selection of works. Outside there are several large pieces to admire, along with views from the fortress walls over the city. The way the gallery blends in, and stands out, from the fortress are a work... More

As it was Easter the main part of the museum was closed but the city walls are still open and there are a fair few pieces of art that you can view. Also fab views over the port and Palma itself.

What a find. I didn't know this was here, but spent an amazing time discovering artists I hadn't heard of. I especially love Naco Fabre works.

I had to grit my teeth and bear it in certain rooms (one installation looks for all the world like something you'd look at to choose kitchen units) but the way a brand new building has been incorporated into such ancient fabric is incredible. Great views from the terrace and Ronda walkway. Poshest toilets I've ever used, almost photographed them!... More
